I caught sight of my reflection
 I caught it in the window
 I saw the darkness in my heart
 I saw the signs of my undoing
 They had been there from the start

And the darkness still has work to do
 The knotted chord's untying
 The heated and the holy
 Oh they're sitting there on high
 So secure with everything they're buying

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
 With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
 In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
 We wanted the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

My grip is surely slipping
 I think I've lost my hold
 Yes I think I've lost my hold
 I cannot get insurance any more
 They don't take credit, only gold
 Is that a dagger or a [bad word] I see
 You hold so tightly in your hand
 And all the while the distance grows between you and me
 I do not understand

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
 With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
 In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
 We wanted the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

At my request you take me in
 In that tenderness I am floating away
 No certainty, nothing to rely on
 Holding still for a moment
 What a moment this is
 Oh for a moment of forgetting
 moment of bliss
 Oh

I can hear the distant thunder
 Of a million unheard souls
 Of a million unheard souls
 Watch each one reach for [bad word] 
 For the filling of their holes

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
 I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
 In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
 I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man

In the blood of Eden we have done everything we can
 In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began
 With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
 It was all for the union, oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man.
